Ray A #4-31 (API 42-431-30625) is a plugged well in Sterling County, plugged September 10, 2009, last operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 8, 1977, permitted to 8,400 ft.

It was permitted by Stoltz, Wagner & Brown and has since transferred to Burk Royalty CO. Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Base Cretaceous (marker), Yates, San Andres, Clear Fork.

Its lease has reported 74.8K barrels of oil and 4.94M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 24 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
